How do you turn complex PK/PD modelling into messages that inform real-world decisions? Join Dr. Aida Kawuma for a free webinar on communicating Population PK/PD modelling results with clarity. 📅 11 Aug | 🕓 4 PM EAT 🔗 tinyurl.com/pmxuganda15 #Pharmacometrics #PKPD #ClinicalResearch

How do we know when a model is good enough? In a session led by Francis Ojara, participants explored how #PBPK models are evaluated, verified, & validated to determine whether they reliably represent drug behaviour & are fit for their intended purpose. #QuantitativePharmacology

The right tools turn complex science into actionable insights. MILK PBPK PhD scholar Davies Otieno introduced participants to key pharmacometrics software, demonstrating how computational tools predict drug exposure & support informed dosing decisions. #Pharmacometrics #PBPK @seniorcymo.bsky.social

During his presentation, Joshua demonstrated how in vitro data and mechanistic models predict drug clearance and exposure to support smarter drug development. #IVIVE #PBPK #Pharmacometrics #DrugDevelopment

Day 2, MILK PBPK PhD scholar Joshua Kiptoo introduced participants to In Vitro–In Vivo Extrapolation (IVIVE), demonstrating how in vitro data & mechanistic models predict drug clearance & exposure to support smarter drug development. #IVIVE #Pharmacometrics #DrugDevelopment @seniorcymo.bsky.social

Day Two is here, and the energy is high The Pharmacometrics Africa Uganda Chapter is energized & ready for another day of learning, collaboration, and discovery as the Eastern Cluster workshop on Mathematical Models in Quantitative Pharmacology continues in Mbale. #QuantitativePharmacology #PBPK

Participants learned how individual characteristics, population data, drug properties, formulation, and dosing protocols come together to generate meaningful simulations that support drug development. #PBPK #DrugDevelopment #PrecisionMedicine

From open-source platforms to industry-leading software, PBPK modelling offers a tool for every stage of drug development. Davies Otieno guided participants through the strengths and applications of platforms including Simcyp, GastroPlus, PK-Sim, MATLAB/SimBiology and mrgsolve. #PBPK #AtTheEquatorUG

Using powerful real-world analogies, Joshua Kiptoo illustrated how PBPK modelling enables researchers to simulate drug behaviour before clinical studies, helping improve efficiency, safety, and decision-making in drug development. #PBPK #Innovation #DrugDevelopment #Pharmacometrics

How can mathematics predict what happens to a drug inside the human body? In an engaging session, MILK PBPK scholar Joshua Kiptoo introduced participants to the core components of Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic modelling and its growing role in transforming drug development.

From the lab to the clinic, PBPK modelling is transforming drug development. Participants explored how it informs dose optimisation, predicts drug interactions, and supports regulatory decisions. #PBPK #DrugDevelopment #Pharmacometrics #QuantitativePharmacology #AtTheEquatorUG

Participants explored how the body can be represented using real physiological organs and tissues connected through blood circulation, with mathematical models used to simulate processes such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. #PBPK #MathematicalModelling #AtTheEquatorUG

What if mathematics could predict how drugs move through the body? Francis Ojara introduced participants to Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling, showing how anatomy, physiology, and drug properties can simulate drug behavior. #PBPK #Pharmacometrics @catrionawaitt.bsky.social

The session highlighted the importance of understanding drug exposure and the therapeutic window, the range in which a medicine can provide its intended effect while minimizing the risk of toxicity. #DrugSafety #Pharmacokinetics #PrecisionMedicine #AtTheEquatorUG @catrionawaitt.bsky.social

Professor @catrionawaitt.bsky.social introduced participants to ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion), the processes that determine how a drug moves through the body and ultimately influences the concentration reaching its target. #ADME #Pharmacokinetics #DrugDevelopment #PBPK

What happens to a drug after it enters the body? Prof. @catrionawaitt.bsky.social introduced participants to the fundamentals of pharmacology, exploring drugs, #Pharmacokinetics (PK), #Pharmacodynamics (PD), and the importance of understanding PK in drug research and clinical practice.

Prof. Kibuule noted that the future of innovative drug research depends on building the skills and expertise needed to apply emerging scientific approaches locally. #QuantitativePharmacology #PBPK #CapacityBuilding #AtTheEquatorUG @busitemauniversity.bsky.social @catrionawaitt.bsky.social

Prof. Dan Kibuule, Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences at @busitemauniversity.bsky.social, delivered the opening remarks, welcoming participants to two days of learning and knowledge exchange on mathematical models in #QuantitativePharmacology and #PBPK modelling. #Pharmacometrics #AtTheEquatorUG

The Eastern Cluster workshop on Applications of Mathematical Models in Quantitative Pharmacology, with a focus on Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Modelling, has officially begun. In attendance are participants from Busitema University &Soroti University. #PBPK @catrionawaitt.bsky.social

The #WCP2026 pre-conference Workshops brought together researchers, clinicians, and pharmacologists from around the world for interactive sessions focused on emerging science, innovative methodologies, and practical skills in clinical and basic pharmacology. #ClinicalPharmacology #AtTheEquatorUG

"At the Infectious Diseases Institute, long-term partnerships are central to improving health outcomes. Working alongside the Ministry of Health & other partners has made it possible to deliver impactful, system-based research." Andrew Kambugu reaffirmed IDI’s commitment #APTSepsis #AtTheEquatorUG

In his remarks during the dissemination of the APT Sepsis findings, the Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI), Executive Director, Dr. Andrew Kambugu, noted that research is not just about generating knowledge but improving outcomes for patients, which translates into real impact. #APTSepsis

Prof. @catrionawaitt.bsky.social emphasized the importance of investing in practical, hospital-based solutions. The APT Sepsis study shows that strengthening everyday clinical practices like hand washing can significantly improve maternal outcomes. #APTSepsis #AtTheEquatorUG @seniorcymo.bsky.social

In her opening remarks, the APT Sepsis Uganda Principal Investigator Prof. @catrionawaitt.bsky.social underscored the power of time, resources, and partnerships in transforming maternal care. #APTSepsis #AtTheEquatorUG @britpharmsoc.bsky.social @livuni-ismib.bsky.social @seniorcymo.bsky.social

Sharing knowledge, saving lives! The Active Prevention and Treatment of Maternal Sepsis (APT-Sepsis) programme team is disseminating the study findings as participants discuss ways to combat maternal sepsis. #APTSepsis #AtTheEquatorUG @catrionawaitt.bsky.social @livunihls.bsky.social

In her presentation on the Maternal and Infant Lactation Pharmacokinetics (MILK) study, Prof. @catrionawaitt.bsky.social emphasized the importance advancing research to understand of safe, effective drug use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. #DutchMedicinesDays #DMD25 #AtTheEquatorUG

This two-day conference, organized by FIGON in collaboration with the @britpharmsoc.bsky.social, brings together professionals from academia, industry, and policy to discuss the latest developments in drug innovation and healthcare. This year’s theme is “New Frontiers in Drug Innovation.”

Our team lead, Prof. @catrionawaitt.bsky.social, shared groundbreaking insights at the Dutch Medicines Days 2025 in Amsterdam. She highlighted the importance of inclusive, evidence-based approaches to medicines research. #DMD25 #AtTheEquatorUG
